Lewis Hamilton Awarded WWE Title Belt For Winning F1 Championship

Lewis Hamilton may have just secured his fourth Formula One World Championship, have been romantically involved with Nicole Scherzinger and have earned the debt of a third world country, but now the F1 champ has received the most prestigious honour of his career. He's had his own WWE Title made in tribute to his accomplishments on the track.

Much like SuperBowl champions the New England Patriots and recent World Series winners the Houston Astros (among other numerous sporting champions, including the likes of Bayern Munich and Chelsea) Hamilton's championship success has been honoured with the unveiling of his own personal title belt.

Fourteen time world champion, WWE legend and COO Triple H did the grand unveiling of the personalised strap on his official Twitter account, this afternoon.

The customised side plates on the title feature two designs: The Lewis Hamilton brand logo and his race number '44', framed in the colours of Abu Dhabi to mark the final race of another Championship-winning season. It's also the same design he wore on his helmet during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2015 to commemorate the 44th National Day.

Hamilton will take to the track in Abu Dhabi on Sunday to bring the current F1 season to a close. The race takes place two weeks before Triple H himself performs in the city, where he will headline a show against fellow former WWE champion Roman Reigns.
